Luigi Mariotti, was born in Rovereto, in the Italian province of Trento, in 1929. After concluding his school education Luigi Mariotti learned the profession of a violin maker at the school of Luigi Mozzani. While teaching at various high schools in Zurich for almost 30 years, Luigi Mariotti could apply and extend his knowledge in the didactic field.
For Luigi Mariotti, the compositis for solo guitar he created in later years constitute the musical expression of his experience of life on the instrument which accompanied him since his early youth: the guitar.
His instruments were been utilized for performances with important orchesters, such the London Simphony Orchestra, Mexico City Orchestra and others, with great results.

Christopher Myles building excellent classical guitars since 1979. Buy a handmade guitar of unsurpassed quality direct from the luthier for a remarkably low price.
I, Christopher Myles, have been building high quality acoustic guitars since 1979 specializing in Torres style classical guitars. While adhering to traditional form and design I continually experiment with non-traditional tonewoods. I usually make between 12 and 20 guitars a year including a few steel stringed instruments. All "RED LABEL" guitars are made of the finest selected quartersawn, air dried tonewoods. The ribs are hand bent on a hot pipe and pegheads, heels and bridges are hand carved. Soundboards are carefully tuned and action is meticulously refined. All "RED LABEL" guitars are fully french polished.
The result is a handsome, beautiful guitar which plays easily and sounds wonderful.
If you are looking for a high quality handcrafted guitar, I'm sure you'll be pleased with a "RED LABEL".
